FASHIONABLE GLOVES.
Varieties and Shades to be Worn With Fall
and Winter Dresses.

Fourteen shades of tan-colored uu-
dressed kid gloves are shown to be
worn with autumn and winter dresses.
For the street are four-buttoned gloves
with wide embroidery on the back done
in black or in self-colored stitehing;
the buttons are gilt and nearly half an
inch in diameter; the embroidery is
done by machine stitching, as it is then
smooth on the wrong side, and does
not make ugly ridges on the hands rs
the rougher hand stitching does.
Heavy dressed kid gloves of the same
design, to wear with tailor gowns, are
made in English fashion, with Tapped
..drawn seams" sewed as harness is
sewed, to show one light edge of the
leather. Gray, black and mode or drab
shades are shown in both buttoned and
loose winter gloves, but the tan-colored
veloutine, or undressed kid gloves. still
make up the bulk of the importations.
Evening gloves of very light tan
undressed kid are worn long enough
to meet the sleeves, but are
smoother on the arms than formerly;
to keep them smooth simple plan
is to slit them near the top and pass an
elastic band through the Sits and
around the arm, turning down the tor
of the glove Gas for hem) to hide the
elastic. Merchants keep extra skins
matching these gloves in evening tan
shades for making slippers, which we
have already said are worn with Suede
colored silk stockings. The sac gloves
cut very full, without slit at the
| wrist, are made of dark, pliable kid
and are worn very large as negligt
gloves that are easily put off and on
Mems gloves are cut in the same way,
but are shorter than those for ladies
and are liked for the country, for driv
ing, etc. As rule, all gloves arr
worn more easy-ftting and larger thar
they formerly were. Separate gaunt
lets of stiff kid are imported to b.
added to English driving gloves o
stitched kid that come in yellowish
tan, black and white; these are used b.
equestriennes. Black undressed kiC
gloves are worn by those dressing in
mourning, the glazed kid being nov
seldom seen.-Harper' Bazaar.

The collection of rentsin Ireland has
become synonymous with the disagree
able, but even if it be an unpleasant
duty, amusing incidents sometimes
arise. Last year." writes landlord,
"a farmer came to me on rent day,
saying that he could not pay more than
half the sum he owed. He had great
deal to say about losses, bad times and
low prices, and listened with patience
until he had finished.
II then reminded him his rent had
been reduced under the Land act, and
that had voluntarily cancelled some
arrears; but firmly refused to accept
less than the full amount. Mick was
married, and knew that his wife ruled
the household.
"'Now. Micky,' said l, you ought
to be ashamed of yourself. After what

RAISING LIVESTOCK.
A Business in which the Experiences OF
Others Can Be Made Available.

There can be no guarantee OF entire |
success in any undertaking where the
start has been wrongly made, there
having been lack of knowledge and
judgment in important details. The
modern farm that pays, does so only
through growing such descriptions OF
livestock as are wanted at paying
prices, or through dairying or fruit
growing, and the former should be
classed with livestock industry.
There are few business undertakings
that are taken up so nearly Alright that
no after-regrets arise. that this or that
feature was not inaugurated differently,
for in nearly every start in business,
including the placing of livestock
upon the farm, certain purchases are
found to be unsatisfactory. For in
stance, after herd or flock is pur-
chased it is an exceptional case where
| the owner can not in week or two
| point out individual animals that no
would be glad to have out OF the pur-
chase, could he, after week or two 5
